Now, here we are to talk about one of the greatest hits of 2021. The mare of Easttown with its huge fanbase is an American crime limited drama series. Now we must keep in mind that’s it’s a limited series so season 2 of the series is a serious question. The show is worth appreciating for the storyline it has built up slowly from episode 1 of the series. The show was written by brad Ingelsby and was directed by Craig Zobel exclusively for HBO. The show is about the single mother and detective, Mare Sheehan, and the story is set in the small community of the east town, while she goes on a life-risking and thrilling journey to solve a case of local murders that are taking place recently and at the same time also depicts her struggle as a family person to hold on to the shattering pieces of her family life. The show wasn’t expected to be such a hit by the makers also and they are all in a shock with its success.
The show has an IMDb rating of 8.5 which considering it is a limited series is quite remarkable, and we have already come across the huge fanbase of the show while we see them anticipating for the next season to arrive on social media. Rotten tomatoes have also given great reviews about the show along with the critics appreciating the plot and the twist of events it has got.
Now as we speak of the second season of the show, the main problem that stands in our way is that the makers made the show with the idea of it being a limited series, thus 1 season is enough according to them and we still haven’t heard anything about the renewal of the show till now but, the show’s ratings should also bring a big consideration to the mind of the makers, thus we still have a chance for the renewal of the show for a second season. We also have seen a hint from the main lead of the show that she misses the character a lot and how she is so obsessed and hooked to the character, thus lighting a bit of hope in our eyes for sure.
Mare Of Easttown Season 2 Release Date
As we have already discussed the renewal of the show isn’t confirmed yet and the writers haven’t found a proper story to fit in the series for the new season but they have also mentioned that there is always a chance or the renewal of the show. The first season of the show came out in 2021, with its first episode premiering on 18th April 2021 and the finale episode premiering on May 30th, 2021. The show lasted for a span of only two months with a total of 7 episodes in the first season which was surely not enough for the fans. The show wasn’t ended in a cliffhanger thus the storyline was completely shown and the show took a period of nearly 1 year for the completion of the making. Thus, assuming the writer comes up with a story by the end of this year, the show will be out by December 2023 at the earliest. The second season is also predicted to have a total of 7-8 episodes in which they will complete the new story for sure and each episode will have a runtime of nearly 60 mins each just like the previous season. Though we have a long time to wait for the second season, it will surely be worth a watch based on the content we have received previously.

We also see how mare is concerned about his grandson drew whose custody is being claimed by her addict mother Carrie, by the end of the episode we see Kenny, Erin’s father shooting Dylan out of his pain and agony. The third episode is quite interesting as we see frank, mare’s ex-husband is brought into question for being the actual father of Erin’s child, but that seems meaningless, we also see the revelation of the park where Erin’s missing finger was found indicating the gunshot she received and we also see mare going on administrative leave because of planting cocaine in carries car to prevent her from taking drew away.
By the fourth episode, we see Zabel taking full charge of the current case going on, while we see mare still investigating on her own, we also find out that Dylan is also not Erin’s baby’s father. We also find the missing complaint of another girl named missy sager and deacon mark also comes under interrogation who used to be Erin’s counselor, after his history seems quite inappropriate with girls. The episode has got more twits when we find out Katie is still alive after such a long time, we also see Siobhan struggling with her life choices and her brother’s death. Episode 5 marks a thrilling encounter when Brianna gets suspicious of Dylan’s activities along with mare and Zabel bonding and encountering the kidnapped girls, Zabel gets shot in the head and mare ends up killing Pott while saving the kidnapped girls.
The sixth and the seventh episode are considered two of the best episodes from the series, we find about Billy confessing that he murdered Erin after he came home that night all covered in blood, and then along with john, embarking on the last fishing trip together, and mare also heads to the fishing spot after she heard about Billy from john, the chief officer know about everything while jess suddenly arrives and shows him that john is the real culprit as the real person who was sleeping with Erin is john, the chief tries to get mare immediately on the phone. Now at the fishing spot john is pointing the gun at Billy but mare arrives in time and stops him. John soon confesses that he shot Erin while they were struggling and Erin wasn’t in a proper mindset, Billy, and john though arrested, Billy was let out on parole. Carrie also didn’t get drawn as she started using drugs again. By the end of the first season, we see Mare visiting the attic where Kevin took his life for the first time after his death.
